What to expect from Zom 100 manga
Zom 100 manga follows Akira Tendo, a 24-year-old ZLM office worker who finds himself enmeshed in a mundane and pointless existence. Since he is dissatisfied with his profession, he lacks ambition and purpose. Nevertheless, when an unforeseen zombie outbreak brought on by experimental bioweaponry sweeps Tokyo, everything changes.
Akira chooses to embrace this chance to live more fully rather than give in to despair. To experience everything firsthand and to demonstrate that he is still alive and well, he decides to make a list of everything he wants to do before passing away. This choice is made with a renewed feeling of significance.
Akira sets off on a variety of thrilling and, at times, weird expeditions across the zombie-infested metropolis in the company of his friend Kenichiro 'Kencho' Ryuuzaki. Their tricks vary from cheap thrills like getting free meals at fancy restaurants to more pricey activities like riding roller coasters and traveling to haunted homes.
As they move through the dangerous streets swarming with flesh-eating zombies, Akira and Kencho encounter other survivors who have their own reasons for survival. Along the way, they form strange alliances, confront their fears, and come to understand the value of friendship and the human spirit's capacity to persist under pressure.
